Procedure did not totally work. Would like to try again T some point please
My experience with Dr. Saucedo is has been wonderful from the beginning. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring. I appreciate his ability to explain the details of the injury, the options of care, and any future treatments needed. He is also very kind. Also, the entire front office is amazing. Thank you!
Dr. Saucedo is amazing!
I was still under anesthesia when he came in to brief me. He spoke to my family but I would have like to get my orders from him. No follow up call which would have been nice since he had not talked to me after surgery
Ut,physicians, rockets sports meds if you are seeing these people for health needs you are doing the very best for yourself
Dr. Saucedo has always been very personable and listens to my hand issues. He offers medical solutions to help control my hand pain, arthritis and trigger finger. He is an excellent doctor in his field of expertise.
Good doc, was easy to talk to. Staff was all good, very professional.
I think one more injection in my thumb would have been better than putting Voltaire in on it, because I don't think that's going to make triggering go away.
Dr. Saucedo performed surgery on my right middle finger. I only saw him for a few minutes before the surgery. I really liked him and the whole team at the surgery center.
Dr. Saucedo is amazing surgeon and is so easy to talk to! I trust him 100% and will refer family and friends to see him!
Very smooth appointment. No waiting time between professionals.
The team was very organized ,pleasant and professional.
The whole team and staff at the doctor's office was very professional, welcoming, and made me feel very comfortable. And Dr. Soseto is probably the best doctor I've ever seen in all of my visits for orthopedic assistance. Thank you so much. Bye. 1
Make an appointment is a tough part. I spent more than an hour to have an appointment after spoke to 4 different people. Very frustrating. Should received compensation after you guys compromised my personal info and sent my info to the wrong person who have similar name. I am surprised that no one took any responsibility after made this big mistake. Management is rude to solve the issue. Felt discriminated. Management Showing that nothing happened or it's not a big deal. Not a happy patient. However my Doctor is great. Hoping positive response.
Dr. Saucedo was so kind and caring, I trusted him completely. Dr. Houston explained the procedure in detail and offered a nerve block which was the best pain management ever. I only wish it could have lasted a few more days. The nurses were perfect. I could not have had better care. Kaylee and Alex discussed my options for treatment and felt I was a good candidate for surgery and the best outcomes. Dr Saucedo made it happen. Many thanks to all of you.
My whole appointment was very good. Everyone was very efficient and knowledgeable and treated my case with interest and in a manner that was not rushed. Great job to the whole team
Proud to be under the great care of Dr. James Saucedo and his team.
It was an excellent service in all my time there thank all of you!!!
The nurses and the doctor provided great care , front desk staff not very friendly. I had to go back because my referral to physical therapy had to be changed to occupational therapy and I was not treated very well. I always greet staff and say please and thank you ; I was not acknowledged and they made me feel like I was bothering them. This doesn't apply to the lady that checks patients out she's always very pleasant
The entire staff was awesome. I would recommend them to everyone
Dr. Saucedo was amazing to work with. He gave me all the options and explained them very clearly. I would highly recommend him!
Dr Saucedo is excellent and I trust him 100%. He did an amazing job on my hand surgery a couple years back as well as great care when I broke my hand.
Yeah, the doctor is good, but his office is terrible. So he recommends surgery and it's been days. Maryam, his assistant nurse, she didn't do anything, whatever she has promised. She didn't reach out to my mom's primary doctor. She doesn't follow up. And I'm trying to expedite, escalate this issue. And I've requested multiple times, multiple times to speak with the manager. And no one contacts me. There is no date, the surgery date scheduled. I've talked to multiple people and the responsibility, zero. Extremely frustrated.
This was my first visit with Dr. Saucedo and I felt very comfortable with his treatment and his explanations. I will continue to see him as needed for any issues with my hands.
I felt at ease with everyone. Nurses were great, doctor explained everything to me, and the office staff was very nice.
This is my first visit. Dr. Saucedo introduced himself was very nice. Took his time with me explained a lot of things instead of course of action into motion he made me feel very confident in my care.
I recommend It Physicians all the time. Dr Saucedo is an outstanding Dr! I came in with my thumb in a splint and having to take 2 Aleve a day for pain. He fixed my thumb! He is so enthusiastic and loves his job! He loves making people active again and without pain. I recommend him to everyone!
I appreciate his pursuing new procedures in hand surgery as options for my condition
Really liked my doctor
He is a great doctor and didn't rush me to finish the exam. I only expected him to spend about 15 mins. with me, but the visit ended up being closer to 30 mins.
